Identification and characterization of a chitinase-coding gene from Lamprey (Lampetra japonica) with a role in gonadal development and innate immunity
Chitinases (E.3.2.1.14) are ubiquitous hydrolases capable of cleaving the beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds in chitin polymers. The physiological significance of these enzymes in the development and immunity of various animals has recently been reported [Badariotti F, Thuau R, Lelong C, Dubos MP, Favrel P....
